DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

FIGS. 1 to 3 are first to third schematic diagrams showing a bag of a notebook computer according to one embodiment of the invention. Please refer to FIGS. 1 to 3. A bag 3 in this embodiment of the invention is used for containing a notebook computer 1. The bag 3 includes an upper cover 10, a lower cover 20, and a carrying handle 40.

The lower cover 20 is pivotally connected with the upper cover 10. When the upper cover 10 is closed to the lower cover 20, a containing space 50 is formed. The containing space 50 can be used for containing the notebook computer 1. On the other hand, when the upper cover 10 is opened from the lower cover 20, the notebook computer 1 can be exposed to facilitate operation of the notebook computer 1 by the user. The upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20 may be made of fabric, plastic, or metal and so on, respectively.

In addition, the bag 3 can further include a joining portion 30. In this embodiment, the joining portion 30 is disposed at adjacent edges of the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20, respectively, and it is used for closing or opening the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20. The joining portion 30 may be different kinds of structures, such as a zipper, VELCRO fastener, or a snap fastener and so on. A zipper as the joining portion 30 is taken for example. In FIG. 2, the joining portion 30 includes an upper chain 32, a lower chain 34, and a slider 36. The upper chain 32 is disposed at the upper cover 10, and the lower chain 34 is disposed at the lower cover 20. The slider 36 is used for closing or opening the upper chain 32 and the lower chain 34 further to close or open the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20.

For example, when the notebook computer 1 is disposed in the containing space 50, the notebook computer 1 can be contained in the bag 3 by closing the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20 via the joining portion 30 thus to facilitate taking the notebook computer 1 via the bag 3 by a user. On the other hand, when the user is to use the notebook computer 1, he or she just needs to open the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20 via the joining portion 30 and then opens the notebook computer 1 for normal operation. That is, the notebook computer 1 can be used when disposed in the bag 3 and without being separated from the bag 3.

The carrying handle 40 is connected with the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20, respectively, and it is disposed across a connecting place of the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20. In this embodiment, besides providing a handle for the user, the carrying handle 40 further has additional functions which are described hereinbelow.

In addition, to facilitate taking the bag 3 via the carrying handle 40 by the user, lift holes 48 can be disposed at the carrying handle 40. Thus, the user can put his or her hand at the lift holes 48 to easily lift the bag 3.

The carrying handle 40 includes an upper connecting portion 42, a lower connecting portion 44, and a supporting portion 46. The upper connecting portion 42 is connected to the upper cover 10, and the lower connecting portion 44 is connected to the lower cover 20. The supporting portion 46 is connected with the upper connecting portion 42 and the lower connecting portion 44, and it has a distance 49 with the connecting place of the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20. The upper connecting portion 42, the lower connecting portion 44, and the supporting portion 46 of the carrying handle 40 are integrally formed.

FIG. 4 is a fourth schematic diagram showing a bag of a notebook computer according to one embodiment of the invention. Please refer to FIG. 4. In this embodiment, a side view is shown. In FIG. 4, when the lower cover 20 is disposed at a supporting surface 2 and the upper cover 10 is opened, at that moment, the carrying handle 40 (shown in FIG. 1) lifts the lower cover 20 so that an angle is formed between the lower cover 20 and the supporting surface to form a heat dissipating space 60.

For example, supposing that the user puts the notebook computer 1 in the bag 3, the user takes the bag 3 via the carrying handle 40 to anywhere. When the user puts the bag 3 on the supporting surface 2 and is to use the notebook computer 1 disposed in the bag 3 thus to open the upper cover 10, the supporting portion 46 of the carrying handle 40 has a distance 49 with the connecting place of the upper cover 10 and the lower cover 20. Therefore, when the upper cover 10 is opened, the carrying handle 40 is lifted to support the lower cover 20 and an angle is formed between the lower cover 20 and the supporting surface 2, and the lower cover 20 fails to be fully attached to the supporting surface 2. Thus, the heat dissipating space 60 can be formed via the angle between the lower cover 20 and the supporting surface 2. Since the notebook computer 1 generates heat when running, the heat dissipating space 60 can be used for dissipating the heat. When the lower cover 20 is made of metal, since the metal has the heat conducting characteristic, the heat dissipating space 60 formed by the carrying handle 40 can increase the air convection thus to quickly dissipate the heat conducted by the lower cover 20.

In addition, to further increase the heat dissipating efficiency, the heat dissipating holes 70 (shown in FIG. 2) can be disposed at the lower cover 20, and they can correspond to the heat dissipating space 60. Thus, when the upper cover 10 is opened, and the notebook computer 1 is disposed in the bag 3 for operation, besides via the heat dissipating space 60 formed by the carrying handle 40, the heat generated by the notebook computer 1 can further be dissipated via the heat dissipating holes 70, thereby increasing the heat dissipating efficiency.
